Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to develop a separating element that is easy and inexpensive to produce and includes a sealing element that is securely attached to the separating element. The technical effects of this invention are to provide a more efficient and cost-effective means of isolating and separating elements in various applications.

Problems solved by technology

In the prior art in which the sealing element is arranged non-captively on the separating element, the sealing element may be forgotten so that the function of the liquid separator is impaired or not fulfilled.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]FIG. 1 shows a liquid separator 100 with a separating element, i.e., an air / oil separating element, more precisely an oil separator for separating oil from a gas flow, that is mounted in a separating container, i.e., a pressure container.

[0052]The pressure container has a container opening 10, a housing 12 that has an upper area 14 surrounding the container opening, and a cover 16 embodied for closing off the container opening 10. The upper area 14 of the housing 12 is facing the cover 16. Usually, housing 12 and cover 16 are each provided with inlet openings and outlet openings 60, 61. Usually, inflow occurs into the housing 12 and outflow through outlet openings 61 in the cover 16.

[0053]The upper area 14 of the housing 12 forms a support body for a collar 32 of the oil separator that is embodied monolithic or in a one-piece configuration, for example, disk-like. The collar 32 forms a flange-like surface that is arranged perpendicular to the wall of the housing 12. The suppor...

Abstract

A separating element for separating liquid from a gas flow is arranged in a separating container of a liquid separator. The separating container has a housing with a container opening and a cover closing off the container opening. The sealing element has a collar arranged between housing and cover and supported on an upper area of the housing facing the cover. A sealing element is provided that has sealing surfaces arranged between the upper area of the housing and the cover such that the separating container is sealed relative to ambient pressure. The sealing element has a holding element monolithically formed with the sealing element and captively securing the sealing element on the collar. The sealing surfaces and the holding element are designed such that a function of sealing the separating container and a function of holding the sealing element on the collar are separate from each other.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of German patent application No. 10 2013 008 246.3, the entire contents of the aforesaid German patent application being incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention concerns a separating element for separating at least one liquid from a gas flow, wherein the separating element can be arranged in a separating container of a liquid separator, wherein the separating container comprises a container opening, a housing, and a cover embodied for closing off the container opening. The separating element has a monolithically embodied collar that can be arranged between the housing of the separating container and the cover of the separating container and is designed to be supported on an upper area of the housing which is facing the cover. The separating element has a sealing element that has a sealing surface designed for sealing the separating container wherein the sealing sur...
